Buyers -
Let's look at buyers first - you have to buy to be able to sell! At Touchstone, the key to a wise purchase lies down the road when it is time to sell. You may need more space, or less. You may at some point want or have to leave the Houston area. The days when families stayed in one place for generations are long gone. It is imperative that you have an exit plan for your real estate just as you do for your career. Like any other asset, the goal is to liquidate favorably! While no one can predict exact swings in the market or the economy, your Touchstone agent can help you examine the trends, evaluate amenities and upgrades, and help insure that you make the soundest purchase possible. We want to see you in a home you enjoy, even when it is time to move!

In addition, our experienced experts are familiar with the Houston area, and the many neighborhood options available. When you describe your needs, we can help provide a selection of areas to choose from. Love the location first - that's the rule! Then we can find the right home! 

Once you have found the "one", negotiation skills will get you to the lowest possible price. Your experienced Touchstone realtor will help you look at the market trends for your selected neighborhood, evaluate the amenities and updates, and guide you to an educated, fair offer. We will be able to validate our price to the seller's agent and the seller - moving all parties towards on agreement.

Research: Sellers are all vying for the best price, and the best buyers. At Touchstone, we research the market thoroughly before our appointment with you. At our first visit, we will walk with you through your property, noting features, amenities as well as spots that might need some attention. You, the seller, know better than anyone what is great about your property, and maybe some things you would have liked to change. ALL of this information is crucial to preparing a house for market and developing the plan to bring you the highest possible return.
 
Preparation: At this initial meeting, time permitting, we will visit a few properties that will compete with yours on the market. This is extremely helpful in maximizing the value of your property. It also is a crash course for you the seller, in what is inviting and appealing, as well as what can make a buyer turn around and move on. In your brochure, you will find several reminders and check lists that when followed, guarantee you have made the best possible impression on every buyer who walks through your door. 
 
Marketing: Touchstone has a proven plan to bring your property before as many buyers as possible. Advertising in our favored local glossy magazines, a presence in the weekly standard where the public starts their house hunting, is only the beginning. Market comparisons will be done on a regular basis, you will be updated on what is moving in your market, and what has not. We will constantly rework your appeal and presentation to keep your property in front of qualified buyers. Open houses, both for the public and for the real estate community will be scheduled. Attractive promotional information on your area and specific to your property will be available and updated.  
 
Consideration & Security: Although having your home on the market  tends to keep a seller "on call", our agents do appreciate that you have a demanding life besides. They try to be considerate of your time, scheduling appointments with serious buyers, and will always keep you apprised of any last minute schedule changes. Finally your security and comfort during this process is always our top priority with the best in electronic monitoring and appointments. 
 
Negotiation: When the offer comes from a buyer, Touchstone provides the tools and skill to negotiate the best return on your property. Your realtor is there with the ammunition to combat low offers, the expertise to transition through inspections and the ability to resolve any impediments to a "done deal". Right up until you sign and surrender your key (and all those remotes!!) your Touchstone agent is by your side reminding you of any last minute details. 
 
Moving: We can even help you with movers, and will remind you of little things like utilities and mail. Need a last minute baby sitter or delivery of some much needed refreshment? We are still here for you! Our agents know that YOUR happiness is our best advertisement!
 
Buying or selling, you want the most experienced expert
on YOUR side, and that means a Touchstone Realtor.
